Free community event

Join us at The Vinyl Groove Records for a day-long celebration of music, vinyl culture, and community in Cleveland’s historic Old Brooklyn music complex—the same spot that once housed Peaches Records & Tapes, Coconuts Music & Movies, and Space Invaders.

The Fest will feature:

• Curated vinyl + artist vendors (in partnership with Northeast Ohio Vinyl Club)
• Live music inside & outside throughout the day
• Exclusive in-store specials + memorabilia
• Charity raffle benefiting Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present & Future (100% of proceeds go directly to the nonprofit)
